What is the correct behaviour for local socket(AF_UNIX) in the following scenario?

[Mayank Kumar]

I have not measured this leak.
This is just my feeling that the behaviour would be like
this. If the behavior is not this way, then how do we take
account of this in FREEBSD is what I want to know. 
I mean, if p1 has written data and exits and there
is no p1 to read it, then what happens to the data
written by p1.

Mayank

How are you measuring the 'leak', and which version of FreeBSD are you
using?
